AS TO TAXES.

Editor Exchange:
In a former communication refer
ence was made to Gov. Bates message
to show under existing rates of taxa"
ton that large sum would annually
accrue in the treasury above the Or
binary expenditures of the state. As
many of your readers may not have
the Governors message and many
Others may not trouble themselves to
investigate it, | will itemize from the
message the amounts paid in the last
two years as extraordinary expendi-
lures. Bear in mind that extraordi
nary expenditures is no part Of
the ordinary expenses Of the state,
and will not likely occur again in fu>
ture wears. The fist item of expense
is the extra session of the legislature,

The Nashville American bitterly
Crilicises Gov. Faylor's position re.
gardiug national aid to education; yet
that paper last year agreed with him
that national aid Was right if the pros
ceeds of the sale of public lands were
used for that purpose. The governor
and the American both opposed the
Blair bill, and neither Of them now
favor it; yet the American charges
that the governor supports the meas
nre in his message. We do not so I'M
derstand it. He wants national aid,
but distinctly with the understanding
that it shsll be under state control,
and We believe the mass of the people
are with him, The people want their
taxes reduced, and this is one way to
secure the reduction.

AN INTERESTING INCIDENT
Recalled by the Presence of the
Tragedian Booth.

The appearance of the distinguished,
tragedian, Edwin Booth, in Minneapolis,
naturally exciteS numerous comments
and whilea group of gentlemen were sun
ming themselves in front of the Boston
block yesterday morning the converse,
ton naturally drifted to Booth and his
office is at SOC Boston block. said: Seen
tlemen, l at one time had the pleasure of
personal acquaintance with Booth,
and the first time l met him was
at Melbourne, Australia, in 1858.
He and Laura Keene, with cOmpanY.,
had come from California for a starring
tour through the colony. 1t was not a
financial success, owing to difference
of opinion between the two stars, as
Booth wanted to play tragedy and Miss
Keene only comedy. l afterwards ac-
cOmpanied them across the ocean from
Melbourne to San Francisco "a four
months trip, including a months stop
at Honolulu). Mr.. Booth was then
genius and warm, unselfish heart
made him the favorite of all on
board. A singular incident occurred
during the early part of the voyage.
We had on board two miners, who were
rOOmmateS and partners, and each had
about $4,000 in Australian gold dust,
tied up in buckskin bags and stored in
their trunks. About a month out one
of the miners complained to the captain
of being robbed. So, at the conclusion
of dinner, Capt. Green arose and said
he had an unpleasant duty to perform;
that one of his passengers had been
robbed, and in order to find the guilty
party it would be necessary to make a
thorough search of every person, state
rooms and effects, including Miss Keene
and Booth. The search was made, but
no gold discovered, and for several
days we all had an uncomfortable feel
ing, but our suspicious gradually settled
on the roommate of the man who had
been robbed as the guilty party, and he
finally confessed the theft, and acknowl-
edged having thrown the money over
board when the search was being
made. An imprOmptu jury was i'm
panneled and the man placed on trial.
mercy could be expected. Tony Booth
was the guilty mans only friend, and
made an eloquent speech in his behalf,
pleading insanity, ETC., but the prisoner
was unanimously declared guilty, and
was forced to give his gold to the man
he had robbed and to be put ashore on
the first island we passed. The
next day we sighted one of
the beautiful islands of the
Society group in the Southern Pacific
ocean, and approaching it, the captain
lowered a boat, ordered the prisoner
into it and just as he was descending
the gang-plank Booth stepped forward.
took his hands and with tears streaming
down his cheeks said: ''Poor old fell

gold niece to nav VOIIr WaV on the neyt
Ship The passengers, realizing the
harshness of verdict, and the great
magnanimity of Booth, gave rousing
cheer for the warm-hearted actor. Per-
haps Mr.. Booth will recall the circum-
stance,

TIRED OF THIS LIFE.
Angus Mcdonald, Wagon Maker
Shoots Himself in the Head.

Angus Mcdonald, a Wagon Maker,
Shoots Himself in the Head.
Angus Mcdonald, an employee of the
NJ. Roller carriage works, committed
suicide about o'clock last evening by
shooting himself through the head with
SO Smith & Wesson revolver at his
boarding place, 1410 Third avenue.
south, the residence of w. c. Brown.
McDOpald took supper with the others
as usual, but left the table before
they had finished, He went di-
rectly up stairs to his room, laid his
p6cketb0ok, containing some SIS, on the
stand, took his revolver from his
bureau drawer, descended the back
stairs, and at the bottom placed the re-
vOlver to his head and sent a bullet
crashing into his brain. He fell dead
in his tracks, his head outside the door.
The family were still at the table, and
hearing the shot rushed out, only to
stumble over the dead body. DR.. Quinby
was called, but could do nothing except
notify the coroner. Coroner Springer
was summoned, and after making an
examination ordered the body sent to
Gleason u Byorum's morgue. No in
about an inch and half above the
right ear, passed directly through the
brain and lodged in the skull on the
other side. Mcdonald was forty years
of age, and for year past has been
working for Mr.. Roller, the carriage
manufacturer. Of late he has been
quite respondent, and imagined that
some one in the shop was trying to in
jure him.. He went to his boarding
place yesterday noon very nervous, and
sent for Rev. Mr.. LhamOn, and, after
long talk with him, appeared to feel

evidence that such was the case was
offered the affair did not attract general
attention. But 1t appears now that
many a half-forgotten affair is being
brought to light again, and that this
case will not stand alone. 1t is certain
that the old Cutter matter in relation to
repairs on the old city hall will be
opened up again, if certain missing pa
perS can be found, and the investigation
promises to be decidedly interesting.
The presence of Nj. j. Mallen, a news
paper reporter who distinguished C?)
himself recently by writing up several
places where gambling was going Oh,
in spite of the word of the police COM
mission that such was not the case, ere
ated some talk, and the impression
gained ground that the matter would be
fully investigated. The fact that an
evening paper charged that either the
superintendent of police OF members of
the commission were. receiving money
from the knights of the green cloth for
allowing them to run, makes the inveS-
tigation all the more interesting. The
entire commission, together with the
superintendent of police and nu-
merOuS patrOlmen. who have been
i'll position to know about such things,
has been summoned to appear to-day,
When II Is TO be hoped that the whole
truth will come out. While the men
who were once looked upon as the king
gamblers of the city have not been run
ming for long time, several smaller
places have, and no attempt was made
to keep the matter quiet, either.
The jury will, without doubt, if indi-
cations of very pointed nature are to
be believed, turn its attention to the
houses of prostitution and the assigna-
ton houses which are run openly and
almost without fear of molestation. The
recent attempted assault in house of
the latter sort has stirred up the matter
somewhat, and number of prominent
men are understood to have announced
their intention to clear out these pest
houses at whatever cost.

The Eighth Ward Contributes to
the Saturnalia of Crimes Against
Women.
Another attempted outrage upon
woman is reported, this time from the
sOmnolent Eighth ward. A young
woman of Swedish extraction employed
as domestic at the residence
of G. H. Trautman, 1920 NicoI-
let avenue, for some time had
been keeping company with Nels Mel
son, young man employed as bar
tender at saloon on Washington ave-
nue., between Fourth and Fifth avenues
his attentions any longer. Sunday night
she went out walking with another
young man, and tn. returned to the
house at 10 o'clock, going to the back
door. Nelson, it appeared, had been await
ing their APPROACH and laid in ambush.
He made some hostile demonstrations
that frightened the timOrouS escort, who
beat a haSty retreat. He wanted the
girl to go out walking with him, and,
when she refused, dealt her blow upon
the head that rendered her unconscious.
He then carried or rather dragged her
to the alley at the rear of the yard
and was attempting to outrage her per-
son when she recovered consciousness
and screamed. He tried to choke her,
but her cry of distress was heard by
persons in the house, and several men
soon put in appearance, at whose APP
proach Nelson ran away in the dark
ness. He has not been seen since, but
a warrant for his arrest has been issued,
and he will probably be apprehended.

Architect Wood.

In the crush and pleasurable confu-
sion incident to the opening at the Hen
nepin avenue theater last night, the
architect of the beautiful theater, l. M.
Wood, of Chicago, should not be over
looked. He has not only furnished the
plans, but has personally superintendent
the work of construction throughout.
Last night he received some fiatter-
ing testimonials that must have
been gratifying to him, although
he has before designed and built some
of the handsomest theaters in the coun-
try. Both Booth and Barrett were en-
thusiastic in their praise, as was Arthur
B. Chase, the manager, and members of
the company. Gus MOulton, the bust
